Abstract
Navigator corrections and low‐spatial frequency (LSF) over‐sampling are investigated as methods for reducing respiration‐related effects in multishot functional MRI. Both techniques take advantage of the smoothly varying or nearly constant phase variations linked to the respiration cycle. These techniques were tested in functional MRI studies with spiral k‐space acquisitions. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analyses and the temporal variance averaged across the brain were used to evaluate their effectiveness. Both methods were found to increase the area under the ROC curve and to reduce the standard deviation, with the LSF oversampling method being more effective.
